Titled "Seven Calamities" this handscroll painting is a testament to Yana's mastery of ink and color on paper. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring to life a series of calamities that plagued society during this tumultuous era. From natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, to man-made catastrophes such as war and famine, each scene unfolds with dramatic intensity. Yana's brushstrokes effortlessly capture the raw emotions experienced by those affected by these calamities.
